MY STEPBROTHER'S REPLACEMENT

Chapter #7

It was four o'clock in the afternoon and Henrietta had just returned from Lucy's house.

Henrietta told Lucy and Matthew, Lucy's lover. The two of them compactly lectured Henrietta even Lucy was inexhaustible with the contents of her best friend's head.

Henrietta went into Henry's mansion, he spread his gaze across the house, but saw no one passing by.

Henrietta walks towards a side park with a swimming pool and a basketball court.

There he saw Della and some servants, as well as a gardener who cleaned the swimming pool area.

On the edge of the swimming pool there are indeed some trees that are not too large and soothing but the leaves often fall especially if the fall.

After that Henrietta went inside again and saw Aunt Ely. "Auntie, is Henry not home yet?" ask Henrietta.

"Not yet madam" replied Aunt Ely.

Aunt Ely looked at Henrietta's different hair. "Mrs you cut your hair?"

Henrietta simply nodded her head and walked up the stairs to her room.

He opened the door and went inside, after which he walked towards the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. While waiting for the bathtub full of water Henrietta walked towards the door of her room beam and opened it with both hands.

Henrietta stood on the side of the balcony and looked down, from there she could see the main gate far enough away and also the swimming pool area.

He sees Henry's car entering the mansion's main courtyard and stops his car there, Henry gets out of the car and raises his head.

At first glance Henrietta's vision met with Henry's sharp eyes.

Henrietta decided to go into her room again and undressed her clothes.

He walked towards the bathroom and started soaking there, Henrietta also added vanilla fragrance there.

"Your master is back? There was a call from the big lady, she said she'd stop by here before returning to Canada" said Ely's aunt.

"Auntie told Rietta?" ask Henry.

"Not yet, madam went straight into the room after returning," Aunt Ely replied.

"He's out today?" ask again.

"Yes, sir,"

Henry nodded his head in understanding and walked straight to his room.

Henry passed through Henrietta's door and paused for a moment and stared at the door.

He continued to walk back to his room and closed the door. Henry went into the bathroom and took off all his clothes and put them in a dirty place.

Meanwhile, Henrietta had just finished her bath after more than fifteen minutes in the bathroom.

Henrietta went downstairs and saw that everyone was busy.

"What's Della, why does everything look so busy?" henrietta asked Della.

"Mrs and great masters will come here, ma'am," replied Della.

Henrietta thought that her in-laws would come back straight away and wouldn't stop by.

Henrietta walks into the kitchen, she'll help Ely's aunt make dinner.

Ely's aunt rejected him, but Henrietta insisted on helping and making some food.

Six o'clock in the afternoon, Henrietta was in the kitchen an hour more to help Ely's aunt and the other waiters.

"It's over," Henrietta's legs stretched her hand muscles.

"Auntie I'll go to my room first" Henrietta said.

"Yes madam" replied Aunt Ely.

Henrietta went back into her room, she wanted to change clothes first before Henry's parents came.

Henrietta decided to take another bath, because she had been in the kitchen too long.

15 Minutes later Henrietta had just finished her bath session, she walked up to her big closet and put on her underwear.

Henrietta decided to wear a satin navy dress with knee length, short sleeves and covered her chest, very graceful.

Because it was finished Henrietta decided to get out of the room, when going to close the door Henry also looks new out of his room.

Henry looked at Henrietta. "You cut your hair?" asked Henry flatly.

"Yes" replied Henrietta.

"Master, mistress and master have already come," said a servant who came to them.

Without saying anything Henry walked and passed Henrietta, while Henrietta followed Henry from behind.

"I thought daddy and mommy would come back and not come by" Henry said, welcoming his parents.

"We just want to see our daughter-in-law before we get back" said Emma, Henry's mother.

Emma looked at Henrietta and walked up to her.

"You feel at home living here?" asked Emma who hugged Henrietta.

"Yes, the waiter here is very nice," replied Henrietta displaying her beautiful smile.

"You're so beautiful, why Marco could hide a niece as beautiful as this" Emma said.

Henrietta didn't answer anything, she just smiled.

Elijah, Henry's father also approached Henrietta and touched her cheek. "You're very similar to someone,"

Elijah looked at his beloved wife and was countered with a warm smile.

"You guys have pretty much the same smile and soft face" he continued.

While Henry only saw the behavior of his parents.

A servant came to them and nodded at the two old men who were looking at Henrietta's face.

"Sir, madam, dinner is ready" said the waiter politely.

Henrietta breathed a sigh of relief as the maid came, she almost held her breath as her two in-laws were very focused on her face.

"We'd better have a night, then" Henrietta let out her voice so they could quickly go out to eat.

"You're right, after eating we can talk again" Emma said, bringing Henrietta into the dining room.

The four of them were already sitting in their respective seats, Aunt Ely was pouring drinks for the four people.

"The taste of your food is a little different, Ely, it's like the cooking of someone I know" Emma said after putting a spoonful of food in her mouth.

"The food wasn't me who made her mistress" Aunt Ely replied.

"Then?" timpal Elijah's.

"Mistress Henrietta made it," dear aunt Ely.

At once Elijah and Emma looked directly at Henrietta and so did Henry who felt strange with his parents.

"Really?" asked Emma and was replied with a nod by Henrietta.

"Didn't it taste good mom?" it wasn't Henrietta who answered but Henry.

"No ... No, it's so good, I just feel like remembering someone while eating this, it feels exactly the same" Emma said.

"You're good at cooking" he stared at Henrietta.

"Thank you aunty" said Henrietta.

"Call me mommy, just like Henry called me, you're my son now" Emma said.

"Do you like to cook?" ask Emma.

"Yes" replied Henrietta.

"Honey, better we eat first, after that you can continue your conversation again," Elijah told his wife.

"Eat a lot of dear ones" Emma told Henrietta, putting a few tablespoons of food on Henrietta's plate.

"Thank you mom," Henrietta replied with a charming smile.
